“Kevin took great care of my two frenchies while I was travelling. One has special needs and both take a number daily medications and Kevin handled it all perfectly. They also have allergies and special dietary requirements and were happy and healthy when I got home. Kevin kept me updated with cute pictures everyday and was great to work with! My apt was also left neat and tidy! Thanks so much Kevin! Will definitely rebook for our next trip!”

“Joane was great with our dog, Rosie. She gave us updates, and contacted us appropriately with a question about the house. I have already booked her for another pet sitting with Rosie.”

About: HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH DOGS THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!! Eager to work! :) I have grown up with, and helped care for, dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I have been training my dog, currently with assistance from a trainer. He was fearful-reactive and is now an amazing service dog in training. I have been a volunteer at the world’s largest no-kill shelter for 2 years now. I have handled dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have worked with blind and senior dogs. I have run puppy play groups, as well as puppy mill, senior, and teen play groups. some behavioral challenges in dogs that I have worked with include: fearful; reactive; food and/or object possessive; stranger danger; seperation anxiety; dog vs dog aggression; strong leadership; mouthy; and more i’m sure i’m forgetting. I have taken several extensive dog training classes to improve my skill and knowledge. I was the first 16 year old to reach one of the most advanced dog levels. I am very well-versed in understanding dog body language. I have dealt with sick dogs as well as dogs with skin conditions. I have helped get the neighbors dog to eat, as well as go potty and play, and dog walked for several clients. I also have experience with cats from the shelter as i have taken advanced feline behavior classes. I am able to understand cat body language fairly well. I have worked with cats as well as kittens, and cat sat several times. I can care for, and clean up after, dogs and/or cats. I will always respect your pets boundaries. I am currently an undergrad with the goals of becoming a veterinarian! I will genuinely treat your fur babies as my own. My dedication and passion truly is to ALL animals. 🩷 I am a full time college student. I regularly update my calendar to show my availability. Make sure to check there! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water, as well as making sure there is nothing clearly dangerous left out that the pet could hurt themselves with or eat. I will ensure everything is as it was when I came, as well as closing and locking any doors I used. I will dispose of animal waste as instructed. On walks I have a steady balance and strong leash hold to ensure the dog stays with me. I may carry treats with me for minor training/intervention (if allowed and if the dog pulls or something like that). If your dog is scared of certain things or creatures I will take precautions to avoid anything triggering to the dog. Lastly, I will certainly make sure the pet(s) feel loved, happy, and relaxed.

About: Hi! I’m Kim — a lifelong dog lover, wellness-minded caregiver, and proud dog mom to my puppy, Saint 🐾 Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve grown up around dogs, adopted through the North Shore Animal League America, and have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely loving. My approach is calm, nurturing, and intuitive. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a peaceful presence, I adapt to their personality and needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. You can expect: • Reliable communication & frequent photo updates • Gentle, attentive care • A clean, calm, stress-free environment • Plenty of affection, patience, and playtime • Someone who treats your dog like family As a wellness practitioner, I naturally bring a grounded, calming energy into the care I provide — and animals tend to respond really well to that. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’m committed to making both you and your dog feel completely at ease 🤍 I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I have a small fenced-in yard and live within walking distance of a dog park, as well as many beautiful local spots perfect for walks and outdoor time. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos/ videos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.

“I cannot say enough about Ashley! She spent the weekend with my dogs and she was FABULOUS! The sweetest young lady. My dogs LOVE her (and they don’t love many!!). Ash sent me pictures all weekend, great communication- such an incredible demeanor with the dogs. I literally feel like for the first time in years, I can actually go away with total confidence and trust that my dogs are in the best of hands. She is really special.”

“Caroline did a great job taking care of our dogs for 5 days”

Robert R.

“She did a great job! She followed instructions and was able to administer our dog’s eye drops which isn’t easy. She left the house cleaner than when we left, and was very communicative and friendly.”

David S.

“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our fur babies. She stayed at our house for the whole week we were gone with our two cats and two dogs. We returned to our house in perfect condition and our pets well cared for! She left us some amazing photos of our babies of their week together. We could not have asked for a better house/pet sitter. We highly recommend Morgan and will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks so much Morgan! You are incredible!”

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

“My furbaby really.lived Katie. She also was very prompt and responsive and it is clear she really loves animals.”

Belanne U.

“We can’t thank Gianna enough for the amazing care she took care of Chester and our home while we were away. The daily updates, always so responsive, the snuggles she gave Chester, the extra help in putting away our Costco delivery and taking in our mail… she always went the extra mile in everything she did, is so caring and all of it is so appreciated! So glad we’ve found her!”

Lisa N.

“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”

Keith K.

“Jewel was quick to respond to my request and asked many good questions before agreeing to house sit. She also wanted to have a meet and greet before our appointment which I really appreciated. She is very communicative, thorough in terms of what is expected and knowing what the dogs need, and very good-humored; she even took notes during our meeting. The dogs were immediately comfortable with her and I was perfectly confident leaving them in her care. She gave me updates during the day, and everything was great when I returned. The dogs were happy and so was I. I would certainly request her to stay with them again.”

About: My family has always had pets, and they just make life better! I've had several puppies, several bigger dogs (Staffy, Burmese Mountain dog), the whole spectrum. I've cared for a wide array of cats as well, of all ages and temperments. I don't currently have a fur baby as I have been travelling for work the last year, so I'm likely having withdraws. I can't wait to meet your furry family! My full-time job is hybrid and my days in office are flexible, so it's easy for me to block off an hour or two to be flexible with same-day requests. I have a lot of experience watching pets in a variety of environments; large properties, cozier spaces and overnight camping trips! I've been around a few escape artists as well, and know what to watch for and can predict most behaviors. You can trust me with your babies. ❤️

“Dawn and her sons were great. Cash was happy, the house was clean and we got tons of photos while we were away. Will definitely use them again.”

“If I could vote 6/5, for Jill as a petsitter, I would. I was leaving for a much-needed vacation, 8 days, and at the last minute, my friend who was to watch my dog, Kasey Jane, and my 8-month old kitten, Lenta (Polenta!), became sick. I reached out to Jill on Rover, having never met her before and she responded immediately. Jill jumped in and efficiently, pleasantly and with a true love of my beloved pets, saved the day! Jill also stayed with my two lovable furballs overnight. During my trip, Jill sent photos of my pets, further putting my mind at ease and allowing me to enjoy my vacation. When I returned, it was as if I'd never left - Kasey and little Lenta were happy and well cared for and my home was in the nice order I'd left it. I strongly urge anyone looking for a pet/home sitter to hire Jill!”

“John was responsible and reliable. We felt so comfortable leaving our pups and our home in his care. He was super responsive and came to meet the dogs before the care began. Thank you John!”

“Andrew stayed at our home for a week to care for our rescue dog, Melvin, and our cat, Dolce—and he was absolutely incredible. Melvin is usually slow to trust new people, but thanks to Andrew’s calm, patient energy, they bonded beautifully early on in the stay. By the end of the week, Melvin was completely attached, and we were honestly amazed at how well it went. Dolce also got all the love and care she needed. Andrew was respectful of our home, incredibly reliable, and easy to communicate with. We came back to happy pets and a spotless house. This was our first time working with Andrew, and it won’t be the last—highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!”
